I've been listening to "In search of sunrise 7" recently.. and I like these tracks a lot..

Airbase feat. Floria Ambra - Denial
Allure feat. Christian Burns - Power Of You
Cary Brothers - Ride (Tiesto Remix)

I do tend to prefere trance with vocals. Are there any others I should look into similar to the above tracks?

 

[elmuzzy66.]

I would recomend some Dark Soho and 1200 microgramms. Not your normall vocal trance but it packs a punch. Well it did back in early 2000-01 in dalston london

 

[Grrrrr]

My word there is some brilliant trance around at the minute, i really enjoyed recording this

After putting some thought into my mixing 'style' I've realised in places i've tried to be a little too adventurous. I like to mix early in the track in a bid to carry energy but I'm really not good enough to pull it off at this stage and it just sounds like a bit of a mess. So this latest mix I've tried to slow it down a little and aim for slightly smoother transitions... hopefully it's an improvement.

Looks like a solid track list Grrrrr, Kuffdam - Network is a great new album worth listening to

My word there is some brilliant trance around at the minute,

you're not wrong there, it's like 1999 all over infact theres not much i don't like at the moment, loads of euphoric/uplifting stuff about too, which i'm really liking, i'm currently enjoying Ferrys new offering, we're all made of love - super8 & tab mix, more melodic than his normal stuff. Also, Daniel Kandi's mix of Kiholm - fragile, been out a while though that one.

 

[Grrrrr]

I have to say i was a bit unsure about the album having heard 'burning up' which i think is very poor. After having had a quick listen through some of the tracks though it does sound quite promising

Kuffdam & Plant - Maziko, now there is a tune

 

[Grrrrr]

Yeah, there is loads of great uplifting and energetic tracks around, just as many quality tech trance tracks, some solid prog trance but unfortunately a big pile of terrible vocal tracks as well including 'Made of Love' which i can't stand... (sorry!)

Will check out that DK track

 

[wez130]

lol, each to their own haha, i'm sure the love affair will be over pretty quick, but then i like all the anjuna stuff, above n beyond, thrillseekers and oceanlab, Kyau vs albert, Martin Roth, super8 and tab etc, i know its bordering commercial, my favourite of 2008 was thrillseekers - the last time.

To be honest, i've been out of touch for a good few years with trance, it's literally the last 3-4 months i've got right back into it, apart from a couple of tracks in 2007, cerf miiska and jarens track being one of them, and again, thrillseekers, forgot the name of it.

 

[Grrrrr]

I think a lot of the Anjuna stuff is hit or miss, i go through phases of finding it really frustrating because every release seems the same as the last. But like i said there are also some cracking tracks. I think Discover is probably my favourite label, high tempo, energetic and 'banging'!

With regards vocal trance i don't dislike it all, 'The last Time' was indeed a brilliant track. I just think a lot of the recent releases are very samey, unoriginal and uninspiring. Ferry Corsten, JOC, Armin, Titonal, Andy Moor, I can't stand any of their recent vocal tracks. Gabriel Lukosz - Last One Out (Myon & Shane54) from my mix though i'm a big fan of

I feel i should mention Simon Patterson now, without a doubt he is the producer of the moment, everything he touches turns to gold and has done for many years now. His new track Thump is superb and his remix of Sam Sharp - Roundabout is even better. I saw him DJ last week and he was out of this world

 

[wez130]

Have you heard Andy Duguid ft Leah - Wasted? It's different but i like it.

 

[Grrrrr]

Yeah i really like some of Andy Duguid's work and Wasted is brilliant. White Sands (vocal and beatless) and Hypocrisy (melodic trance) are my favourites though.

Here is an outstanding vocal track from a couple of years ago; George Acosta - War of Hearts (Vocal Mix). Try and get hold of it

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Discover stuff just sounds the same, predictable to be honest. Take that Kane Nelson track for instance, people are raving about it, but it just stinks of that typical Discover sound, and of course Activa's engineering.

Can't wait to listen to that! Quite a few of your own edits in there.

I have to agree with this, I can spot a Discover track the second the bassline kicks in, and they are all bland, I got bored of them a few years ago, only a handful do I like, usually ones with strong riffs, like Thomas Datt - Distance.

On a different note, I'm rather disappointed by Armin van Buuren - Face to Face (Martin Roth), as it is a carbon copy of Roth's brilliant remix of Spring Breeze, bassline is the same, it even has the same reverse hihat at the end of each bar... I hate it when producers cop-out like this.

Yeh its definately the same bassline (or near enough), was contemplating doing a mashup of Spring Breeze and Face to Face as the bassline is so similar but I never got round to it.
Spring Breeze was one of my favourite tunes of 2008.

Super8 & Tab did the same recently, the bassline on their mix of Made Of Love is pretty much the same as the one they used for their remix of New York City.

I find it's the same with most Discover tunes, there's nothing much to them anymore, you can instantly recognise that Tyas'y or Activa sound straight off, and whilst it was good at first it's been done to death. Credit to Activa though, hes a very talented producer/engineer, and afaik is man behind quite a few big tracks lately.

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Yeah i really like some of Andy Duguid's work and Wasted is brilliant. White Sands (vocal and beatless) and Hypocrisy (melodic trance) are my favourites though.

Can't wait to catch Duguid at Before The Energy next Friday!
